Friday Five – May 6, 2011

Apologize for the hiatus for the last few weeks, but we had a big project go live at work, and with the Easter holiday and Dyngus Day, things were a bit busy. I actually started this for last Friday and never got a chance to finish it. So let’s get back on track… #1…

I think I’m on the Ron Paul bandwagon
ByDerek
I’ve been reading quite a bit about Ron Paul in the local blogosphere lately, especially after Jim Ostrowski’s interview on WNYMedia.net. I’ve found him to be an interesting candidate – honestly pro-small government, pro-free market, and anti-war. After reading this post by Mike Rebmann today, I think my mind is made up. His views on…

Dyngus Day 2009
ByDerek
I was only going to go to the Terminal for a couple hours to help out with Dyngus Day, but the crowds were so overwhelming that I ended up staying all night to help! It was wildly successful, and there is no doubt that Dyngus Day is becoming a huge event in Buffalo.
From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
